Murray & Mike's Clock Clinic Mike's Clock Clinic Memberships: NAWCC 17000 Western Avenue # 7 Gardena, CA 90247-5262 Phone: 310-225-5645, or 877-286-6762 (Toll Free) E-mail address: Mike@telechron.us (Preferred contact method) My main Web site is located at http://www.atmosman.com/ Main FTP site is located at http://home.earthlink.net/~atmosman/earthftp.html Telechron, G.E., and Revere "Time Only" electric clocks. The rotor rebuilding or replacement takes care of the clock's problems about 80% of the time. Shipping for an individual rotor or coil or together is the same $10.00. Complete rotor rebuilding information is located at: http://www.telechron.us/rotor.html If your Telechron, Revere or G.E. is a time only, meaning that it does not strike or chime, then it would take an "H-3" rotor or a "B-2" rotor. Any 3.6 RPM "H-3" original copper and nickel rotor replacement cost is $100.00. A "B-2" rotor costs $150.00 to rebuild and specifically the "B-2" "M-1" is $200.00. A Time Only includes electric alarm clocks. Unfortunately many old Telechron, Revere and G.E. electric clocks have had the rotor replaced prior and therefore will not contain original parts. I can restore to originality or I can repair what is currently there, your choice. Another problem area is the coil. In all cases the clock has a coil and if needed that is $100.00. These are most always 2 watt's. 2 watt coils cost $100.00. About 5% of clock problems has to do with the coil. Assuming that you send the entire clock and it only needs rotor service and the clock is a time only then the costs are $180.00, which is $100.00 for the rotor service and $50.00 for labor and $30.00 for shipping. For the "B-2" rotor the costs are $230.00, which is $150.00 for the rotor service and $50.00 for labor and $30.00 for shipping. For the "B-2" rotor that is an "M-1" the costs are $280.00, which is $200.00 for the rotor service and $50.00 for labor and $30.00 for shipping. For non Telechron "motored" clock, then the service would be for a clock motor and that can be handled as well, with motor rebuilding costing $150.00 with all else staying the same. Please be sure to double box the clock and insure it for at least $200. By double box I mean to pack the 1st and 2nd boxes as if you were going to ship each independent from the other one. If you send the entire clock then to reduce your shipping costs ship via UPS be sure that the 2nd box measures 16" x 16" x 16" or less. Sending rotors, coils, or complete motors, you can use any small shipping box. Your problem could also be the caused by wear in the movement (mechanism) from usage. About 15% of the time this is necessary and this would require an overhaul. An overhaul on a time only electric is $150.00 plus $30.00 shipping. The movement overhaul does NOT include the rotor or coil, so that would be added to the cost of the overhaul and that would be the worse case scenario. I realize this may all be confusing but I never do more than is needed and the clock always stays original, as sent to me, or I refuse the work. Here's some possible scenarios if you send the entire clock: H3-rotor rebuilding $100.00 Labor $50.00 Shipping via UPS ground $30.00 Total $180.00 B2-rotor rebuilding $150.00 Labor $50.00 Shipping via UPS ground $30.00 Total $230.00 B2-rotor (M-1) rebuilding $200.00 Labor $50.00 Shipping via UPS ground $30.00 Total $280.00If a coil is needed then add $100.00 to each of the above. This is rare. If the movement needs rebuilding then add $150.00 to each the above. This is very rare.
When you send the entire clock a new electric cord and plug is included, if needed, with the color choices of black, white, or brown and in the length of your choice. You may also use Pay Pal by clicking on the link below.
